I have a photo with no ID's or plug attached.
Man in the hat is Dizzy Dean I would say, any ideas on the others? Scott |
Looks like ole Tyrus.

The guy in the Milwaukee cap looks like Lew Burdette to me. Of course, with me saying so, that reduces the chances of it being him to pretty much zero.
|
Agree on Cobb, Duffy Lewis on Cobb’s left. I think I once saw a photo that had both of the in it from the 1957 World Series.
|
Well now that I compare that other pic, it does appear to be Ty Cobb. Thanks for the help.
As to Burdette would have been pitching in the 1957 World Series, would he have been in civies with old timers? But your right it sure looks like him. It is the 1957 World Series, I found a Mears photo w/Lewis and Cobb in the same attire. |
Scott,
Here's a card from a (Larry Fritsch?) commemorative set showing what appears to be the same four guys. It identifies Paul Waner on the far left. Strangely, no mention is made of the guy in the Milwaukee cap, although from that angle it no longer looks like Burdette (yet still seems familiar), which as you noted is no surprise given the setting. https://photos.imageevent.com/imover...18_%202018.jpg |
Thanks Todd, we are now three out of four.
|
George McBride was also in that Mears photo, might be him.

Waner
The guy in the Milwaukee hat is Waner, not the guy on the far left.
|
That makes more sense. That also makes McBride the man on the far left, who was older than Cobb and appears older. Compare the Mears photo to the guy on the left in the commemorative card:

Thanks again everyone, I knew it would be cleared up pretty quickly on here.
